Understanding the Utah Water Rights Addendum

A person submitting a deed for recordation to a county recorder’s office in Utah is required to also submit an attached Water Rights Addendum, as of July 1, 2011. This becomes part of the deed and is recorded along with it. The form for this is provided by the Utah Division of Water Rights (which is often referred to as the State Engineer’s Office).
